Neville Goddard on Exodus 8:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 8 in context

Scripture Focus

9And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

10And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

11And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

Exodus 8:9-11

Biblical Context

Moses offers to intercede for Pharaoh to remove the frogs; Pharaoh delays until tomorrow, and Moses agrees so Pharaoh may learn there is none like the LORD; the frogs are removed and remain only in the river.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a drama of your own awareness. Pharaoh represents a stubborn habit of postponing consciousness, clinging to the familiar chorus of frogs—unwanted thoughts and fears that have invaded your inner house. When Moses says, 'Glory over me,' he invites you to acknowledge the I AM as the ruler of the scene, the one power within you that can destroy the disturbance. The demand 'to morrow' is your old mind saying, 'Not now; let me hold on to the problem a little longer.' But the declaration that 'there is none like unto the LORD our God'—the inner recognition of God as your only reality—releases the energy enough to separate the frogs from your dwelling. The frogs depart and remain in the river only, signifying that the outer stream of life continues, but your inner home is cleansed. In practice, hold the end in mind: a house free of the frogs; when you align with the I AM, the inner movement shifts and the outer scene follows.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM that I AM' as your immediate state; imagine the frogs leaving the rooms of your mind and dissolving into the river; feel the relief of a cleaned inner home.
